A shipyard in Turku, western Finland, has developed this passenger submarine for tourists. The first such submarine is for a United States hotel owner, Sam Ho Kim, who bought it as an attraction for his hotels on the Pacific island of Saipan. The 18.29 metre submarine can take tourists to a depth of 75 metres for up to two hours. It has observation windows, floodlights, and pipes through which bait can be extended to attract deep-water fish.
